Which Ravens Rookies Will Make Immediate Impact?

Not every rookie is going to make an immediate impact for the Ravens -- or any
other team, for that matter -- but there are a few that could make their
presence felt right away.

In the latest edition of the PressBox unofficial two-deep
chart, several of the team's draft picks -- as well as one undrafted rookie --
have been inserted into the mix.

Because of fourth-round pick Lorenzo Taliaferro's
pass-protection skills and his big frame (6-foot, 229 pounds), he has been
listed as the new reserve fullback behind second-year player Kyle Juszczyk.

Undrafted rookie tackle James Hurst, recovering from a leg injury suffered during a bowl game, is currently placed behind Rick Wagner, who was
ostensibly handed the starting right tackle job when Michael Oher left for
Tennessee in free agency.

On defense, C.J. Mosley's first-round status and three-down
résumé put him ahead of Arthur Brown at weak-side linebacker, with Brown
likely to play nickel in the immediate future.

That opens the free safety door for third-round pick
Terrence Brooks to start right away, which has Ravens holdover Omar Brown
as a backup.

For now, a possible defensive line makeover remains on hold,
as fourth-round end Brent Urban is still recovering from ankle surgery, and
second-round tackle Timmy Jernigan's role has still not been clearly defined.
